Chris wasn't kidding, the Sixth Day was the best lair yet. No enemies, buckets of atmosphere and great platforming. Nice music as well.

There is a survey about the game online as well. Apart from giving your opinion on lots of aspects from the game, they also also want your opinion on features that may or may not be included in the next game. Enhanced Eagle Vision sounds pretty nice.

Kinda gutted it's all over now :(

I think i'll go back for the assassination contracts, but I cant see myself collecting all the treasures or flags.

Yeah, same here. Contracts, treasures and flags were all I left. Renovated every district 100% and did all the other optional missions.

I hope there's DLC, but I fear there won't be. Mine was a debug copy, so I'm tempted to ask for the Codex Edition on PS3 for Christmas - PS3 version for the extra Copernicus missions and I'm pretty sure the Codex Edition has at least one bonus lair.

Re: Not being able to get rid of special costume

Are you sure? On 360 you certainly can, you just go into the Outfits menu and select said costume again.

I've tried this again and it worked ok. It definitely didn't when I first tried out the costumes, but maybe I'd got the game in a mess and just needed to quit out and start it again.

Re: Undoing rennovations when you quit a mission

As for your second problem, I think that was because the mission you aborted opened up a new area of the map, so if you retained the renovations you'd made it would have broken the mission once you started it again. Not to say people shouldn't be wary of such things, I just don't believe it to be a bug, merely a fail-safe.

Maybe it is a feature, but it'd have been better if there was some warning it was going to happen. By the way, the mission I was doing hadn't opened a new area of the map - I just hadn't done the Borgia tower in that area yet (and that stayed done when I quit the mission - it was just the rennovations it reset).

The game tells you more than once (maybe every time even, can't check right now) that using a tunnel aborts any mission if you happen to be doing one at that time.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it tells you every time, it puts up as a wee warning window, like a "Are you sure you want to do this?" box which you have to answer. I've had it come up a few times.

Yeah, but I was fine with aborting the mission, just not undoing all the rennovations I'd done since starting the mission - it didn't tell me it was going to do that.

Just about to finish the very enjoyable ACII and was wondering if I would lose out on anything if I switched to the PC version of this (last two games I have played on the 360)? It doesn't appear to carry anything across from your save games from what I can tell.

Also, PC version. Any negatives from the console version? I'm assuming I can use a 360 pad.

How good is your rig? AC2 seems quite demanding. My PC, Q6600 quad core, HD 4870, 8GB ram, can run it maxed out in 1680x1050 but its only running at about 30fps, and i still think it looks worse than the 360 version too. I havent tweaked the game, and maybe muckign about with the cfg files will fix this, but the shadows are horrible and the LOD is shockingly bad. Also the controls are bad but if youre using a joypad im sure itd be fine.

Is this worth picking up for SP only? I won't touch the online shit.

I would say so, it has got loads of stuff to do in single player, good length campaign with lots of side activities (not just collect-a-thons) and it looks lovely. Multiplayer almost never works for me, and it seems a lot of other people have issues with the servers, so it might even be a choice to touch that :D

I was one of those people who was really skeptical about the multi-player, so much so that I only brought this game for the single-player story thinking I wasn't gonna touch the online stuff. However, I decided to give it a go and I've gotta say I think it's great. It works really well as a game (the servers can be slow at times it seems) and it feels perfectly balanced. I love the way they've incorporated all the cities into it as well. With the great single and multi player I think this might pip Red Dead Redemption to be my game of the year.

It's definitely one of my fave games of the year, but I am getting tired of those glyph puzzles where you have to twist and turn until you have a correct image. No more of those please, Ubisoft.

Is the stuff you unlock about The Truth a sequel video to the one in ACII?

It's different in style, but I haven't unlocked the entire video yet. Two puzzles left I think. They do some new stuff with them and I quite like them in general, am just a bit fed up with the spinning puzzles. Not that they are that hard, but still...

Dont know what the hell i was doing wrong last night but i just couldnt control the game properly, felt like i had to slabs of uncooked salmon for hands. Ezio was behaving like a complete spack headed mongchild. Every jump id try hed go th wrong way, or just jump up and down on the ledge like an excited child. I was tasked with breaking into castel st angelo and not being detected for 100% sync, i was spotted by the very first guard int he very first room :facepalm:

Seriously, this game can either make you feel like an unbeatable silent badass assassin, or inspector clouseau attemping parkour :lol:

Ubisoft survey asks players about next Assassin’s Creed, shows possible features

Since it seems like Ubisoft is keen on making a new Assassin’s Creed game every year at this point, they’re doing a little research to make sure their series will have continued success. The latest method: a survey.

Discovered by forum members at NeoGAF, the survey poses 15 possible changes or additions to the game’s formula for the participant to rate. A lot of the choices are multiplayer-focused, asking about online/offline co-op modes, teamplay modes, or characters with different skill-sets. Some are story focused, such as whether to follow a new assassin or stick with Ezio, or to tie in events from other titles, like the recent Facebook game. Then there are mechanical questions on ideas such as eagle vision, upgrades, and crafting. Nothing’s certain, but it shows what ideas the team is throwing around.

Below is the complete set of questions from the survey.

Would you like to see ____ in the sequel to the ASSASSIN”S CREED: BROTHERHOOD?

1) An upgrade to the assassin’s blade that increases the fluidity and speed of free-running

2) An enhanced Eagle Vision: see the patrol paths of guards, spot clues to complex navigation puzzles, detect when characters are lying during interrogations, etc.

3) An intuitive crafting tool that lets you create custom bombs from dozens of ingredients found throughout the game world

4) Tactical use of a variety of bombs suited to unique contexts and situations (smoke, poison, flash, explosive, etc.)

5) An additional objective where you and your Assassins guild fight against the Templars to gain control of a city, district by district

6) Playing as a new Assassin, in a different historical time period

7) A continuation of Ezio’s story as the leader of the Assassins, set outside of Italy

8) Deeper connectivity between all the Assassin’s Creed projects (eg. an action you make on the Facebook game will impact your game experience on the console; events that you read about in the comics will be related to the storyline of the videogames, etc.)

9) Online Cooperative Mode

10) Offline Cooperative Mode

11) The availability of new maps for the Multiplayer

12) A choice of additional Multiplayer characters with new skill-sets

13) Playing new Multiplayer modes

14) A deeper team-based Multiplayer experience (guilds / squads that have common objectives, new tools for clan management, etc.)

15) A customization of the Multiplayer experience (logos, avatars, objects, team names, etc.)

Survey

Note: You have to be a UK resident in order for you to fill in the survey. At least I think so because I did not meet their demographic for this survey.

Jesus fucking christ how is it possible that chapter 8 so unbelievably terribly SHIT compared to the entire game up until that point? Before chapter 8 it was comfortably the best AC game yet, and as close to realising its potential as the series has ever got. But chapter 8 contains the very worst set-pieces and missions of all the AC games combined. It's irredeemably shit, it's crap, it's lazy gameplay design at its most lazy, dull and just plain fucking annoying. Basically:

you run around like a dickhead zapping people with the apple of eden which must be one of the dullest, most annoying weapons I've ever had the misfortune to use in a game. Zap people, hope they die, run around like an asshole when they inevitably don't, wait for your health to charge up again and then zap them again. It's shit, it's boring and it's also annoying as fuck because the game locks out every other weapon or piece of equipment so you're stuck using that shitty apple. Thank fuck I still have my assassins, so every now and again I call them into battle but otherwise you're stuck with that lame apple in your hand. And you're forced from one mission straight into the other, no room to explore inbetween to break up the tedium. The most annoying thing is that the game was quite brilliant up until now, I don't know what they were thinking with this chapter, it spoils the entire game and ruins any potential GotY nominations the game would have had

There isn't a seanr.gif big enough <_<
